those on the highway at the time a lucky escape but an incident which clearly left them shocked earlier my colleague carrie johnston talks to a witness who stopped his car and got out to help the injured including the flight attendant who has since died in the hospital explained to us how he found her and shared some of the dramatic video he shot. her with with us i was the first to get there i saw the flight attendant asking for help to get the other flight attendant out so we had to go inside the plane me and a few other volunteers. we followed the blood trail looking for her and finally found her further down the cabin we carried her out and tried to get her to the highway she had some very bad thing and head injuries and both the legs were broken . were hurting from the jet fuel that had come out and she was in a really bad shape but still conscious but did she say nothing at all.
5:03 pm
she kept saying that your eyes and legs were hurting and i was asking to be put on the ground she was in the shock and disoriented so there were only four or five people who volunteered to help together with me others were too scared to go near the plane as the engine was in fire and they couldn't put it out for twenty minutes so we were the only ones to give some help. and as we mentioned of the crash has now claimed the lives of five people who were on board the other three are still in critical condition and now investigators are trying to fathom why the two zero four careened off the runway it's a relatively new type of aircraft which had never before been involved in a deadly crash artie's minutes in ocean outlines how the tragedy happened step by step. the twenty ninth of december the last working day of two thousand and twelve in russia four pm businesses closed offices forgotten until the next year families

5:07 pm
sees as human rights violators it has more on the diplomatic spat. you have to understand that the law the so-called dental magnitsky law actually deals primarily a with the employees in travel and financial strictures on the number of american officials and persons who have committed crimes against russian citizens and only part of the law actually bans the adoption of russian children a by american citizens it has been in part inspired of by the case of the way out to live a russian toddler who was adopted by the american family in two thousand and nine and died in their custody several months later after his father left him in a locked in the car in the blistering heat for nine hours the russian lawmakers feel that the american mall system does not provide adequate adequate protection for the russian kids and also does not punish those responsible for the deaths of russian kids for example do you have to lose father adopted father walked away with a fine aside from this new law russian lawmakers are also pledging to improve the
5:08 pm
lives of orphans and also improve foster care situation in russia but this new particular law is seen as a response to the so-called magnitsky act which was adopted in the united states just a couple of weeks ago. which entails a list of russian officials whom the united states believed to be involved in the case. a russian lawyer who was charged with tax evasion put in preliminary confinement and then died while in custody now siggy magnus his family friends and several few unwise organizations believe the charges against one of these two were trumped up and that he died in custody from severe beatings these two acts are seen as the latest developments in the ongoing a tit for tat split diplomatic battle which seems to be going on despite the a reset button pushed several years ago russian studies and history professor steven cohen from new york and princeton university's says he's never been under
5:09 pm
any illusions about russia u.s. relations. so there is an old russian saying we're friends are also deeds a lot of people in moscow and in washington when they pass the magnitsky act and now the ban on adoption in moscow may have thought they were just talking showing off playing grandstanding politically as we say in america but these words have consequences they have that they feel all this new cold war atmosphere which is enveloping the relationship between our two countries it's going to affect american relations with russia regarding afghanistan regarding missile defense regarding syria regarding iran these are very serious matters obama has continued the policy toward moscow begun by president clinton a democrat and continued by president bush a republican that policy is advancing nato toward russia's borders building missile defense on russia's borders interfering in russia's interim the politics most

the commerce prospectively promised for a fee to get a businessman on to their party's electoral lists giving him a spot in the lower house of the duma the investigators have forwarded the state duma an official request to strip the two m.p.'s of their parliamentary immunity and you're darn right they better street have their parliamentary immunity stripped i mean what's worse than government corruption some people in the government being so corrupt they can actually sell the government itself to someone for a fee so positions in parliament corruption on this high of a level needs to be punished severely breaking rocks in siberia or worse sounds pretty good to me tolerating flagrant corruption does not a great civilization make but that's just my opinion. we speak your language i mean some of the. programs and documentaries and spanish

5:14 pm
but his offer was met with skepticism since it came shortly after the launch of an investigation into his three top opponents. the chief prosecutor is citing allegations that opposition leaders including that nobel prize winner mohamed el baradei incited their supporters to topple morsi earlier this week it was announced of the divisive new constitution was approved by over sixty percent of egyptians in a two stage referendum the opposition claims that the islamist drafted that document and shrines shari'a law and only got a yes vote because of the fraud no clark in the world affairs contributor for britain's guardian newspaper explained to us why morsi doesn't feel secure even after winning the referendum. think he wants to sort of deflect attention from the economy because the underlying problem the biggest we're facing is the economic crisis one of four egyptians are without jobs poverty is on the rise and the subsidies on fuel which means that the prices of gas and city are going to rocket and so this is a kind of
5:15 pm
a sort of smokescreen for him and he was very keen to get the opposition tied up in the legal challenges to sort of stop them from focusing on opposing him on the issues where he's he's very weak and i think also he be worried that you know a sizeable minority thirty six over thirty six percent of people voted against the constitution and the fact seems to be that that he said is on the wane. and i think that obviously you know i think we can see more protests in the new year while the so-called fiscal cliff deadline hangs heavy there is still no deal inside between the firmly entrenched republicans and democrats millions of americans that stand to see their taxes go up dramatically on new year's day but the sticking point holding up negotiations are the rates for the rich and republicans are rejecting any deal that would see those taxes rise while the democrats insisted the wealthy could pay a little more from a graph founder of why the way to use it says it's ironic that the u.s. is that main parties have great difficulty reaching agreement on policies to help

the nation's poor while there was a little stumbling over striking a deal on the defense budget. when the cameras are on you know if they're on the red they're coming out they're saying it's the welfare call that's a people on food stamps or the people in extended unemployment benefits if they're on the blue team they're coming out and trying to get their base fired up that it's all about corporate interests and this is why we can't come up with the deal but isn't it amazing when the cameras are off and it's time to pass a trillion dollar nearly trillion dollar defense bill they have no problem whatsoever coming to coming together and holding hands with that kind of a deal together since two thousand and one namely we've been covering this nation by proxy the world by crisis and it doesn't matter who gets hurt who's good who gets left by the wayside as long as a special interest is served so is long as it's always under the shadow of crisis they will act but when it's on the when it has to do with acting in behalf of the people of this nation it seems like the people always take
5:17 pm
a backseat. the end of the year in iran is being marked by massive naval drills held in the strait of hormuz one of the world's busiest oil shipping route submarines that warships and jet fighters are taking part with the aim of proving tehran is well equipped to defend its maritime borders the maneuvers come as the west builds up pressure over iran's nuclear program piling on sanctions against the country tehran warned a few months ago that it could block the strait but it's a naval commander say that's not on the agenda now professor side mohammad marandi from tehran university explained why the iranians don't think there's any danger of a military confrontation in the near future. in the sense that western countries are brutal and uncivilized enough to carry out an attack and i think that that's clear to run into the fact that western countries are imposing sanctions and embargo on on iran they're trying to prevent iran from even importing and exporting medicine and food stuff by blocking the central bank and there are shortages of
5:18 pm
some medicines right now in iran and people have died so the fact that the western countries are willing to kill ordinary people and to make people suffer i think makes it clear that the idea of carrying out an attack on iran is something that they would contemplate if they could but i think on the other hand the iranians believe that western countries are much weaker today than they ever were before the defeat in iraq and afghanistan the setbacks in. that israel had in lebanon in gaza make as well the economic crisis in europe and north america make it highly unlikely but the iranians have prepared themselves and i think that itself has been it took deterrent to war so the i think in general the iranians feel that a military assault on iran aggression would be highly unlikely. u.k. health officials propose a new way of tackling obesity the country's serious plague with more than sixty percent of adults being at risk of developing cancer diabetes and heart disease due

5:20 pm
envoy lakhdar brahimi said that dialogue is the only way to resolve the conflict lavrov also reiterated that although russia condemns the methods used by the syrian army in the war it will take no part in a regime change here's his response to the leader of syria's key rebel group who demanded moscow apologize for what he described as a support for president assad. but i want to spend i understand that mr had tb is probably not very experienced in politics but he's looking to be a serious politician it is in his interest to hear our position from us and not from the media that sometimes distorts information just so i'll repeat we're ready to talk to all opposition forces but we start from the premise that they should not only think about their own ambitions but also the fate of the syrian people and if they think that is russia could play a role in the country's tragedy they should meet our representatives with their conditions official notice staying with syria now as our reporters who are on the
5:21 pm
ground throughout the year recall the events that shaped the country in two thousand and twelve. it became very apparent after a massive regional arab spring and in the wake of that the next type of a pro-democracy movement on a revolution or civil war was not what was happening in syria when you see some politicians there and the media circus in just. the cracking down on people you think but what about the other guy on top of the politics and diplomacy there are facts that are simply too important to ignore. i remember i was a training session of the syrian football team and the coach was very angry with how his players were practice and he was shouting he was swearing from time to time
5:22 pm
and then i move my head like this just like this and i saw two helicopters flying at very low altitude and firing we were at each other's hotel restaurant and close to us there was a group for rich syrians playing cards from smoking living life as usual and just before that as me and my colleagues were live in the local t.v. station there was an almost lost a few blocks away most likely terror attack most likely people have been killed and what struck you was the coexistence of those two. realities the reality of death and the real sort of life most interesting interaction for me with assad happened before and after the interview obviously and that's often the case. i asked him if he's afraid. he said no. he said no i'm not afraid that's a moment when the you believe the person or not and the only reason you know if he's right or wrong is intuitional i think series becoming the next iraq it's
5:23 pm
a country that is totally disempower. where death and murder don't surprise or shock anybody and like in the case of iraq all this harm was done to syria but the substantial help of the outsiders under the guise of both democratic and townships . and i'll be back with more news in just over thirty minutes but before that we reveal the deadly gang wars in the city of angels it's after this break. tucked in between the russian mainland japan and the sun coming island is the island of minute on named off the french seafarer who discovered it it is described
